Corruption

To understand and overcome corrupt practices, one must see the rest of the iceberg: the vast majority of irregular behaviors, which may not be so spectacular or visible, but without which there would be no more serious crimes.

There are two ways of seeing, debating and sanctioning corruption. One looks at the tip of the iceberg, the current scandal. Viewed from this lens, corruption is a matter of a few rotten apples and a few behaviors so serious that they fit neatly into the Penal Code, from the irregularities of Reficar and Odebrecht to the unprecedented claims against Supreme Court justices (CS).
